I did it. I finally beat Serious Sam 3. NEVER. AGAIN. Questions I asked myself while playing the game:"Why is all this music shit? Where's the cool metal music?""Why do all these levels look the same?""How is this supposed to be any better than your typical modern shooter?"The gameplay can be summarized as:Move forward into arena-like area > Kill enemies > Move Forward > Huge waves of enemies spawn > Fall back to arena-like area you were just in > Kill enemies > Move Forward > Huge waves of enemies spawn > Fall back to arena-like area you were just in > Kill enemies... Repeat a few times.

Yea... the first serious sam was a fun throwback, I regretted getting 2 because it was very samey and I never considered 3.

A local KMart is going out of business, everything was on clearance including video games, I managed to score a copy of Rage "Anarchy" edition (all the preorder goodies) dirt cheap on PS3. I'm only a few hours in and so far I like it quite a bit.

Yeah Rage was pretty great, I got it for cheap on boxing day last year. It looks fantastic, and they keep it running at a silky smooth framerate even on consoles. It's downfall though was that the PC version was poorly done, having tons of glitches and graphical issues on launch, and then id boasting "THIS GAME IS GONNA BE SO AWESOME AND DIFFERENT AND REVOLUTIONARY", when really, it's just another shooter, that's not to say it's bad, but it's not as special as they hyped it up to be.Fuck I just want Doom 4.

I would say the only gripe I have with Rage so far is that it has somewhat bad texture pop (you know, when textures display as low res and suddenly the high res one pops in). Not Halo 2 bad, but bad enough to be noticeable more often than it should. I'm glad I got it for the PS3 though, I hate dicking around with disc swapping. (Same reason I got L.A. Noire for the PS3 over the XBox.)

Also, people keep talking about the mutants in the sewers (a reference to the sewer missions DLC that are part of the Anarcy edition bundle) but I can't find the entrances to any of them. It's pissing me off.
